The Voice - Match preview #15: Fleetwood Town vs Bradford City Saturday 9th November 2024 3:00pm

Yeh, Crystal Palace, the public toilet that used to be in Bradford town centre.

 

Hughes got sacked for far less

 

I'm sick to death of GA bizarre team selections and his team starting so slow practically every game.

Promotion should be a given this season in a very poor league, but here we are floundering in 10th place.

 

He is still purring about our 2nd half performance saying we were superb, is the Leeds fan on a wind-up with us?

 

He's had his chance now time to go, changing things and personal for no reason, player's playing out of position, not good enough!

 

Can't disagree with any of that Idle. A team with any sort of aspiration to gain promotion should be winning those games 10 times out of 10. That was a poor Fleetwood side that should have been put to the sword, instead we waste yet another 45 minutes because our manager has brain farts with team selection. Really hard to get enthusiastic about this lot.

 

Bring back Edin Rahic. He wouldn't put up with Alexander

 

Getting tired of losing to another woefully out of form teams with lots of players missing. Alexander can't fire up his teams so it's pointless us getting into the playoffs. Normally I'd be shouting for him to go, but it's pointless with Sparks and co hiring.

 

Redfearn watched a different second half to me.

“They were hanging on”
“Absolutely murdered them”

Yes we had more possession but -
How many decent chances did we create?
How many goalmouth scrambles?
How many saves did their keeper make?”

The answer to all those questions is very few or none.

Absolutely clueless analysis.

 

I was thinking that, he was on the vinegar stroke by the end. I was flicking over to the rugby it was that bad, I was bored out of my mind.

 

Those burgers won't fry themselves Monkey

 

You can all blame Alexander all you want but there's no doubt his budget has been reduced and he's having to in mediocre players which has left us with a mediocre squad and as reality bites, we find ourselves in a mediocre position in the table.

There's only one person to blame for the continual failure and is not, and never has been, the managers.

 

He's just said we look a better side than league 2 standard. The bloke is definitely on a wind-up.

 

It's going the way of the last few seasons. I suspect at the end of the season we will be scrambling for the final available play off place along with 4 or 5 other teams.

 

We’ve all seen plenty of games where you just know we aren’t scoring.
Today epitomised our last few seasons.
Poor first half after wrong players picked
Change at HT
Slightly better second half but never looked like equalising.

Redfearn actually had us winning it with 5 minutes left.

 

This budget talk is a lot of BS. Each season sees teams trading with monopoly money finish above us. How many teams have come from non-league (proper tinshed clubs, not Wrexham) and sit above us in the pyramid? The budget is always an excuse. We have the best goalscorer in the league and still can't get a promotion out of four places up for grabs every season

 

I don't disagree that the shambles runs much deeper than the manager, but GA isn't helping himself with some of his decisions..
That 1st half line up was beyond a joke.

 

I genuinely think we are good enough for promotion this season, even with the injuries we’ve had. However we simply have to get results from games like these, and I don’t mean winning every game. I’ll accept been beaten by the better the team but we’ll find ourselves up against more teams like Doncaster this season meaning if we are serious of promotion, we cannot have too many results like today. Sadly, we’ve had enough already this season so Alexander has to sort it out quick sharp……..starting with not pissing around with odd lineups.

If Huntington isn’t fit enough, seriously why have we even brought him on a short term deal?

 

Well it is sacking season, but I doubt anyone as good as Robbins or Edwards would come to this poison chalice based upon the last recruitment and rejections we had

 

Let’s have him and Kiwomya on comms together- we’ll be the best team the world has ever seen then!
